Do Ho Suh’s ‘Walk the House’ Exhibition

‘Walk the house’ is a Korean expression that refers to the ability of hanoks, traditional Korean houses, to be dissassembled and reassembled in a different location. Suh reinterprets this expression, reflecting on how we can carry different places within ourselves across space and time. This exhibition embodies that idea, acting as a portable archive of the memories associated with places he considers to be home.
Fingerprints, long regarded as immutable markers of identity, are unique to each individual and remain unaltered across a lifetime, unless damaged at the deepest of layers. In the creation of his art, South Korean artist Do Ho Suh lost…

To Live Artistically in the Era of AI

To live is to embrace the wind of evolution guiding towards the better. Still, the definition of that "better" is now being shaped by the power of AI, which engages in the crafting of human feelings in the realm of the arts. Are emotions, thus, an artificial product? And could artistic expression be constructed by a machine, which reasons similarly to humans, but lacks the abstract power of their sensitivity?
To live is to feel, namely to interiorise or, even better, to sensibly borrow somebody’s personal occurrences and redesign their boundaries to more closely resemble one’s own spirit and way of perceiving. A living being adheres, perhaps unconsciously, to a policy of…
